Welcome to the Parish Church of St Paul, located at the heart of the residential estate of Wheatley Park approximately 1.5 miles from Doncaster town centre.

As a community resource, the facilities are used by local residents and community projects, and are also available for private hire. The modern catering facilities and large halls make it an ideal venue for weddings, parties and other private functions. For further details, Contact Rev. Richard Radley (01302 342565).

PCC decisions
At a recent PCC meeting of St Paul's it was decided that through the winter months the evening service was becoming increasingly difficult to sustain with dark nights and potential bad weather. The PCC decided to suspend the 6.pm evening service until the clocks go forward at the end of March 2012, at which time the PCC will review the situation. However, it was felt that if there were any special services such as the forthcoming carol service, that these should go ahead but with special arrangements made. Therefore there will be no 6.00pm evening services starting from 3rd December. The carol service will still be held on the 11th December.
